Most students admit to having learned in junior high school or in high school about writing business letters and about conventional formats1 for them．When it comes down to writing them，however，all too many students seem not to know how and to be unwilling2 to look up the forms （or perhaps they don't have a reference about using English）．This web page was prepared so that you would have an easily obtained description of what to do．When a business that has letterhead stationery3 writes a business letter，the first page of the letter uses paper with the printed letterhead and succeeding pages，if any，use matching quality and color sheets without the letterhead．A business with very good quality printing might generate the letterhead graphic4 with an image embedded5 in a word processor document．An individual normally won't use letterhead stationery and won't attempt to fake it．An attempt at letterhead that produces a tacky result or that conveys pompousness6 produces effects that you want to avoid．In a business letter，everything that you "type" should be in the same typeface and in the same font size．You should use "formal English" and you should very carefully check your grammar and spelling．You should arrange things neatly8．You should consider the appearance of the letter "at arm's length" as well as close up －－use white space to produce an attractive sheet．In a conventional business letter you should see these parts，in order top to bottom： A return addressThis item is the postal9 address of the author of the letter．Each line of it is left justified10－－either at a tab stop that puts the information toward the right side of the page or at the left margin11．Normally the return address is at the top of the page，but you can move it down a little to improve over－all appearance．Do not put email addresses here －－if you need to convey an email address，do it in the body of the letter．The dateThis item is the date of the letter．It is aligned12 with the return address．Formerly13 there was never whitespace （blank lines）between the return address and the date，but some current styles allow blank lines．An inside addressThis item duplicates what goes on the envelope．It has the formal name of the intended recipient14 of the letter and that person's postal address．Each line of the inside address is left justified at the left margin．No email addresses appear here．You can put blank lines between the date and the inside address to fill the page better and to improve the "arm's length" appearance．A salutationThis item formally addresses the recipient．If the addressee is not a friend，you should write "Dear Mr．Brown：" or "Dear Mrs．Smith：" or "Dear Ms．Jones：" or "Dear Dr．Greene：" or the like．A letter to a close associate might say "Dear Mike：" or "Dear Sally："．There is at least one line of white space between the inside address and the salutation．You can put a little more to improve the over－all appearance．Before the days of political correctness a letter to an organization would begin "Dear Sir：" or "Dear Sirs：" or "Gentlemen：" －－for example，if the envelope were addressed "Personnel Director，XYZ Company，City，State" you might do this．These days you should probably make an effort to get a name，but．．．The body of

常用的付款方式 T/T 电汇。就是买方把货款直接从国外汇入你的外币账户里。 D/P 托收。卖方把提单发票等象征货物所有权的单据交给银行，委托银行收货款。但买方拒绝付款时，银行只会把单据交回卖方。 L/C 信用证。由银行出面担保，只要卖方按信用证的规定交货，就可拿到货款,而买方又无须在卖方履行合同规定的交货义务前支付货款。信用证是有条件的，银行担保是银行应买方的要求和指示保证立即或将来某一时间内付给卖方一笔款项。卖方得到这笔钱的条件是向银行提交信用证中规定的单据。 还有其他像信汇M/T,承兑交单A/P,银行保函L/G,现在都很少用了 COD是Cash on Delivery的英文缩写,意为:货到付款,交货付现,是支付方式payment terms的一种.COD与CIF & FOB没有直接联系. 而CIF,FOB是最常用的三种国际贸易术语Trade Terms中的两种,CIF:Cost,Insurance and Freight成本,运费加保险费;FOB:Free on Board装运港船上交货;还有一个就是CFR:Cost and Freight成本加运费. 贸易术语是指用一个简短的概念或英文缩写字母来说明商品的价格构成,买卖双方的有关手续、费用及风险责任的划分。使用贸易术语能简化买卖双方之间洽谈业务的内容，缩短了成交的过程，减少了误解和争议，节省谈判费用，对国际经济贸易的发展起到促进作用。 FOB应注意船货衔接的问题，CFR应注意卖方及时发出装船通知的问题，CIF应注意卖方投保日期不得迟于装运日期的问题。 现在常用的贸易术语解释通则有1990版和2000版，差别不是很大，在贸易合同中应明确采用的是哪个版本，比方INCOTERMS 1990或INCOTERMS 2000。 我想楼主如果想进一步了解，建议去某个外贸网站或论坛，以获得更多专业的回答。推荐一本好书《进出口贸易实务教程》，上海人民出版社出版，主编：吴百福，副主编：周秉成，李正方，徐小薇。是我大学时期的专业教材。 CASH ON DELIVERY 的缩写 意为:货到付款,是支付方式的一种. CIF,FOB是常用的两种成交方式,区别是是否含运费和保险费. COD与CIF/FOB没有直接关系. 楼上解释的COD很正确，我再补充一点，就是FOB、CIF不仅是代表是否需要承担运费和保险费。还代表了相关责任。如CIF就代表到岸价，直到货到目的港，越过船弦后才将责任移交到买方；FOB则代表当货物离开发运港后就由买方自行负责。 现金帐户 Cash account

英文合同常用词汇与句型 初步学习了英文合同的整体结构后，读者可能仍然觉得一头雾水，感觉不到对本合同结构从何处下手进行具体的解读。没有关系，读者只需要与大家一起继续阅读就会发现那些固定在英文合同结构中的术语原来都是如此的简单和易于理解。为什么呢？因为整个英文合同结构不过是一个个英文条款组成的而已，同时，其中还有大量的定型化的有很强规律可循的常用条款（即前文提到的通用条款“General Provision以及其他常见“Useful Provision ）。而且，构成这些条款的词汇、短语和句型也存在着很强的重复性。所以说掌握这些条款以及组成这些条款的常见句式和词汇，就成为攻克合同英语阅读的关键。如果读者把合同的结构比作人体的骨骼，那么这些通用及常用条款就是这些骨骼组合在一起的穴位与脉络。事实上，研究由这些条款组成的合同结构不但对高效阅读英文合同有帮助，而且对于英文合同起草能力的培养也是大有裨益的，因为这可以帮助读者在起草合同时达到结构的完整和健全，从而有效地避免合同漏洞。读者在掌握普通英语（比如通过大学英语四级考试）后进入到专业英语学习阶段时，首先遇到的障碍就是这些由平时不太熟悉的词汇与句型表达的专业含义。如果可以把英文合同结构比作“森林”，那么英文合同中常用的词汇与句型便是其中一类重要的“树木”。所以，重点研究这类专业表达的规律，是掌握英文合同阅读的一个重要技巧。本章中，读者将用两节内容训练读者对合同词汇和句型的掌握。第一节着重讲解，第二节着重练习。 第一节英文合同词汇与句型解析 法律英语难学，基本上是当代中国法律人的一个共识。难在何处呢？可能法律英语词汇的掌握就是第一只拦路虎。当我们打开英文合同时，经常会发现非常难以理解，即使是常用的合同条款中也充斥着大量的难以理解的词汇。例如下面这句话（在下文中将进一步解析） “Limits on Indemnification. No indemnification is required under Section [insert the number of the Section in which Party B agrees to indemnify Party A] until the aggregate amount of Losses [plus Litigation Expenses] exceeds [$500,000], and then only for the amount by which the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Losses exceeds [$500,000]. 学”过法律英语的人都知道，这个句子实际上在法律英语句子中是比较短小和简单的一句，语法问题难不倒我们，难的是里面的几个关键的词汇，比如indemnification、indemnify 、Indemnifiable 、aggregate、Litigation 以及exceed如果我们知晓上面的列举的几个所谓法律英语词汇的含义分别是：补偿（名词）、补偿（动词）、补偿（形容词）、总计、诉讼、超出，那么本句就很容易理解。它的含义实际上就是指： “补偿限额。只有损失总额（加上诉讼费用）超过（$500,000）时，才能根据第（插入乙方同意补偿甲方的条款编号）条要求补偿，此时也只对可补偿费用中超过（$500, 000）的部分进行补偿。” 除了生僻的词汇以外，我们还要注意大量的我们平时熟悉但不能按照普通英语含义理解的词汇。这样的词，我们称之为“熟词生义”。这些词汇的存在也是我们必须解决的一个
